I just had a discussion with one of the moderators on the GASR forum. They are no longer associating with IMVU other then some art can be paid in IMVU credits if the artist wants. They also still have artists creating imvu art. Otherwise they are not taking part in IMVU anymore.
I tried to give the users a heads up about the IMVU forums closing and a link to this forum, but it is not allowed.

So, just leaving this here just incase anyone else thought it would be a good idea, don't do it.
